What I'm Reading Now -- Tangerine

Back in 2021, S and I had planned a trip to Morocco for my birthday.  Unfortunately, about three weeks before we were supposed to leave, there was a big COVID resurgence in Morocco and they closed their borders to foreigners; they even arranged special flights for foreigners who were already there to get out of the country.

So we hurried up and made some other plans.  We found ourselves in Camden, Maine, for my birthday instead.  It's a small town, and in the week-plus that we were there, we did just about everything we could find to do.  One of the things we did -- and this is actually pretty typical of us -- was went shopping for used books.  Normally we do this at used book stores, but at the time we were there, the local public library was having a big used book sale, so we availed ourselves of their overstock.

One of the books I found was Tangerine, which is set in - you guessed it - Morocco.  It was obvious that I had to buy it, right?

I'm still working my way through my 2024 Reading Challenge, and I had selected Tangerine as my September choice: a book set in an intriguing city.  Specifically it's set in the city of Tangier.  So, here we go, finally trying to catch up on what is now more than a year overdue!
